We must approach every facet of life with a winning attitude and press towards the mark.
1. Forget the past and focus on the future.
v12. - No matter what the history was, Paul had a winning and determined attitude.
Ensure you surround yourself with positive people whose heart reflects God.
v13, Paul had to forget his past guilt. He admitted to being the chief of sinners but he had to forgive himself and others who wronged him.
Jesus Christ will give you another chance. Our sin can never be greater than the grace of God.
2. Be devoted and committed to reaching your Heavenly goal.
Paul was devoted to service and preaching the good news of Jesus Christ.
We must be fully committed and fully devoted to God, putting forth our best effort.
Nothing in our past can hinder our present. You are a new creature!
Whatever is happening in your life, keep moving and looking to Jesus.
3. Stay focused on Jesus and press toward the mark.
We must press towards the mark.
Failure does not mean we are finished, because God is faithful to forgive us.
We must be like Paul and not let the past hold us back.
